How many hops does that make to the Internet for the Internal network
PC's?

OK- just so we're on the same page-- I'm not talking about my
back-to-back 
DMZ config that does indeed have a DMZ Perimeter network on the BE ISA
for 
my FE Exchange server.  That's done.

I'm not talking about a NEW box going into my internal network to
physically 
separate client systems from server systems.  That's the one I was
talking 
about having 2 nics with no "External" resources.
